He's Liverpool's best player for sure. Better than Hazard? Not for me. But I guess it depends what criteria you're using to judge them.

I don't know that it's that dated. I mean, Sarri played it with Mertens and everyone was raving about them. Hell, I'd call Firmino a false 9, certainly he's not a conventional striker; Salah in that system is as often through the middle as him. I think it's definitely worth a try. What have we...

Excellent analysis. And personally I liked what I saw of Arthur, think he'll be very good for us. However while I don't expect him to be racking up loads of assists, as his confidence increases I'd like to see him be a little less passive. Patience is crucial, of course it is, and I can't...

Except with Suarez it's not the goals (or lack thereof in CL) that is the main problem, it's his detrimental impact on our all round game. Say what you want about Benzema and Giroud's goal scoring records, but at least they improve the teams they play in. Suarez is the opposite. Is Valverde...

You genuinely think Suarez is good enough still to be a guarenteed starter?

Looked decent on the ball but bad defensively. Big improvements needed.

Yeah, even without the goal it was a very good performance. He looked after the ball well, dribbled at the right times, and is so good at finding Messi with those fired passes around the area. Really happy for him. Long may it continue.

If only he could cross/pick the right pass! Overall still encouraging though, think he could really kick on this season.

Showed good composure, calmness, but needs to be braver in possession. Hopefully that'll come as he settles in. Overall pretty encouraging.

Gonna be a long season of him 90 mins every game fucking everything up...

How exactly is he supposed to "fuck off from the club" without doing these kinds of things though? He wants out (or possibly a new contract), Utd don't want to sell.. He either accepts that, or kicks up a fuss. It's not ideal, obviously, and to be honest I don't actually want him here either...

Big personality yet alienates his two best players. (or at least in Martial a player with the potential to be so.) I'm not a fan of Valverde but him over Mourinho all day long.

I'm a huge fan of Thiago, one of my favourite players. Earlier this summer I was adamant we should sign him. And indeed I still think he's better than any of our mids bar Busquets. (Coutinho at this point I'm classing as a FW). However I've high hopes for Arthur, heard good things about Puig and...

No signings for Tottenham whatsover. Wonder how they'll do? Either way if you're an ambitious player the lack of transfer activity has to be worrying.

What a strange offer if true. No way Pogba goes for anything less than 120/130million, and that's pounds not euros. Guess it's an attempt to unsettle, but at least show a little respect and leave out Gomes ffs. All we've done now is piss yet another team off.

To be fair he's forced the first guy to commit, and is now in space running at pace 1 on 1 against the second. (Assuming he receives the ball, that is.) Like passing dribbling doesn't always have to go forward to be progressive. ps - I've seen nothing of the player beyond this clip, and am...

Don't think Utd will get Mina. Or rather if they do it'll be last minute panic if they can't get Alderweirald. Everton is more likely but they're after Rojo. Wouldn't be at all surprised if we ended up just loaning him out.

442 Busquets and Vidal cm Coutinho lm and Rakitic rm incoming. :rockon: Despite that I can see the sense in this transfer assuming injuries haven't crippled him and he's not the alky rumours would suggest. He's combative, great mentality, a good footballer. Completely different from what we...

You could make that point about the entire Spain squad though. As to his age, no he's not young, but rather in his prime, hence no hanging around hoping he fulfills his potential. Not a lot of love for Thiago on this forum it seems, and that's fair, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but for...

I don't know that we're signing him at all. Ajax don't want to sell.
